OK, I found the bug. There's a dependency missing.

$ make localyesconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc
HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash
using config: '/boot/config-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64'
/bin/sh: line 8: scripts/kconfig/conf: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [localyesconfig] Error 127
make: *** [localyesconfig] Error 2

Thus the script failed to run. But the sed command that converts the '=m'
to '=y' still ran. This gives us a distro config with all modules
converted to built in!

I'll fix this.

Thanks,
